Maybe punk lolita was the first style I liked, but the dark romantic styles were what made me stay. I describe it as "dark romantic" instead of "gothic" or "classic" because what I mean is really something in between. Not every classic outfit and not every gothic outfit would fit into my idea of dark romanticism.

2. Bonnets

I love bonnets. Not half bonnets though, and not sweet ones. I mean beauties likes this one:

(Mary Magdalene)

They look sophisticated and in a way... otherworldly. As if the wearer was from another epoch.

3. Lacy tights

I have nothing against socks. I wear socks too. But I would choose these

or these

over these.

4. Nail art

Nail art is perhaps not normally associated with lolita but I love it when girls go all the way in coordinating their outfits, up to their nails.
And I love doing nail art too, no matter if it's for a lolita outfit or for a casual one.

5. Elegance

It sounds rather vague, doesn't it? What I really love about lolita fashion is that even at your most casual, you still look and feel special.
